tagging everyone!! & fish news!!

Ok, over at DST I´m at 599 posts and always do something
funny when I get to the next 100th...This time I decided
to tag everyone with this....

Tell me your 3 current favorite songs, they can be new in
the top100 or can be oldies...depends on what you´re listening
to in the car on the radio or what´s playing in your cd-player.
I would love know...:-) Please post them here or on your blog,
so I can leave you some love!!

Here are my current favs. & all new ones!
1. Justin Timberlake; what goes around, comes around
2. Nelly Furtado; Say it right
3. Beyoncé; Listen

Ok, about the fish news...A couple of weeks ago, one of our
fish jumped out of the bowl...poor thing. So I went to the pet
store the next day and got a new, since I didn´t want the old
one, to feel alone..LOL. In about three days, the new fish died
and made the old one sick too...The next morning it was gone!
I was kind of sad, since we had this fishies for over 3 years,
but hé that´s life...LOL.
Today I thought it was time to get soem new ones, and so I did!
And wanted a new bowl too....So I bought this huge round bowl.
It´s awsome and filled with four baby goldfish...wanna see??


It´s 60 width and 50 cm high!! The fishes are still at the bottom,
since they have to get used...I think! But totally love it!!

So I wanted to add a blogthing to see wich kind of fish I am..LOL.
But they didn´t have that, so did something else...

You Were A Lion

You have a lethal combination of strength and energy. You have strong family ties, and close friends are like family to you.

What Animal Were You In a Past Life?

Remember my post from Sunday, after I played our first softball
tournament and told you I cathced for the 1st time...Ok, I have
these muscular pains...It´s really bad. Because I never used these
muscles in the way I did with catching...So you can firgure it out!!
LOL, but also had practice yesterday and my coach told me to walk it
off...And so I did. It´s a little better then yesterday, but still
feeling it...hihihi!

Ok, ladies can´t wait to see with what songs you come up with!!
Have a great day/evening and see you all soon...((hugs))

I´m exhausted!!

We had such a fun day at this softball tournament!!
The weather was great...the sun was shining, only the
wind was a little cold. But to be honest, I´m so
tired...I feel like sleeping!!

We played three games against 2 dutch teams and one german
team... We lost all of them but had so much fun!! We were
with 5 ladies from my team, two from the 2nd team and 5
from a recreation team (they always play for fun). So we
weren´t used to playing with eachother at all...But had
a great team and these people were so nice and fun to play
with!! All I can say is that it was a great day!!

It was a great practice for the upcoming season!! The 1st
game I pitched...For the first time and it went great, I just
need to clear my mind and keep my focus on the glove...:-)
The 2nd game, I played in the outfield. And the last but
not least, I catched...yes also my very first time!! It
was kind of hard though. Sitting and standig back up and
down and up and so on...LOL. Well I must say I really really
feel my legs and tomorrow is probably gonna be much worse!!
LOL, but we´ll see!!

Here are a couple of photos...Just chillin´ between de games
and enjoying the nice sun!!





My new little friend Derek, such a cutie!! He also played one
game with us. The 2nd and catched the whole game...He playes
baseball himself...As you can see we were really cold!! LOL



And the last one...hihihi! Every team that played got this yummy
apple pie after all the games. It was very good, but kind of fel
apart and this is what was left of it...LOL



So thanks for reading ladies...It´s now 18:48, Uhm no I mean
19:48, since the clock was turned an hour forward last night...
LOL! Abdel is getting some chinese right now and after dinner,
I´m going to bed and watch an CSI (LV) dvd. It´s the first episode
of the new season, wich I haven´t seen yet, since we had practice.
But our sweet coach, recorded it for me...So cool!!

I got a busy day tomorrow, since we have another practice game with
our own team after work!! It will be fun, but not sure if I´m able
to move around...LOL! So a lot of sleep is necessary here...LOL

have a great day/night!! ((hugs))

Have you heard???

Sara as in Amarie...is working on her first collection:´natural´.
I already saw the first two parts and they are amazing!! can´t
wait till the whole collection is done...We already got to work
with them!! I started with the first one...It´s blue/green and
so pretty. I can´t give you a preview, but i can show you my 1st
page with it :-) here goes...


So what do you think??
She´s also looking for some guest CT´s to promote her new collection,
check her thread out over at dst. There´s maybe even a full
time spot for you...hmm, sounds great, huh??
Sara is such a sweet and kind hearted lady!! I started with her over
a year ago, when she still sold over at 3scarapteers. I love her stuff
and not saying that cause I´m on her team..lol. Her designs are so
versatile and very different from all other desginers....she rocks!!

So today...I did nothing much!! Well, I finally had some time and
inspriration to scrap some pages for myself. Been busy with a lot of
CT work these past couple of weeks. But getting back in bussines!!
I woke up too early this morning and decided to make some pages...

The first one...This is one of my friends´ Marion´s newborn little
girl. She had send me these pictures last week and wanted to make
a page for them, to give as a gift, for when we are gonna visit them!


Cute huh?? Check for credits here...

Wich reminds me I bought the new kit from Julie Mead: ´On a whim´
over at ACOT! It´s lovely and these colours are sp springy....
check it out!! BTW it´s on sale too!!!


So on to my 2ng page...Yes, it´s me and my new hair-do!! I usually
never use such and all bright colours, but really like how this turned
out!! BTW, the post from last week about my avator..I´ve choosen the
4th photo and the 2nd? frame (I believe)...


Check for credits here...

Oh no!! I have some more enablers...sorry ladies!! But here goes...
The lovely Miss Gina Miller also had a spring sale, and just couldn´t
resist!! I know I´m bad...But I think my paypal is empty now, so no
more alerts these upcoming two weeks...LOL




Ok, one more...I promise...


Tomorrow I´m gonna have a long, but fun day!! We´re having this big
softball tournament in Apeldoorn, about 3/4 hour from here. So I
burned a new CD, so we´re good to go!! LOL. I also packed my stuff;
gear and showering stuff and also made breakfast for tomorrow.
Since this is the first game and really have to get back in those
softball habits..:-) And have to be at our canteen at 8:30!!
I know...It´s really too early for me, especially when the clock is
being put and hour forward. So that actually means we have to be there
at 7:30...Yikes!! So this packing thing was a great idea, since I´ll
probably forget half of my stuff when getting up this early on a
sunday morning...LOL. And probably won´t have time or take my time
to fix some breakfast!! So good for me!! Abdel said, he´s so proud at
me and laught right in my face, about getting up that early. He
said, I´ll think about you when I turn a round in my warm bed!!
So mean, don´t you think...LOL!!

Well, I´m ok with it, since I really feel like playing some ball!!
Go diamonds...LOL

Well ladies, you have a great weekend and hope to see you back here
on tuesday! having another game on Monday night and probably won´t
have time tomorrow and will be exhausted for sure!!

(((HUGS)))

Avator help...

Ok ladies, I need your help...I saw all these avator threads over
at DST and decided I wanted a new one...with my new hair do and

So here are four to choose from, all with me new hair cut...I
promissed to show you anyway, so this would be fun, right??

Ok here goes...I need a photo and a frame, so help this lady out

I´ll probably need a new one after i finished my diet, but thought
this would be fun...:-) I know, I sometimes do silly things..hihi!!

Gonna keep it a little short today!!! LOL

Just a chit/chat and a little enabler !!

Today was again my weekly day off!! Did nothing much
though...:-) Some shopping online and in stores, some
thread posts and cleaned the house!

About sunday...We had a great day and bought a lot of stuff!
Abdel got 5 shirts and two long sleeves and a jeans. I bought
2 shirts and 1 long sleeves and 2 pants....a navy green one and
a black one...Around 17:30 we went back home, weel home, we
went to the restaurant. As always we had a great dinner over
there!!

Today I bought 2 bra´s and 3 vests...some jewelry and a white
linen pants...Yeah I know..I got shopping fever!!! LOL
Talking about fever>>> I stayed home yesterday since I had this
bad stomach virus!! It sucked...I´ve been up all night on sunday
and I had these huge cramps in my stomach and through out
everything I ate that day...I thought maybe from the dinner, but
no...Abdel ate the same and didn´t feel anything. When I woke up
I felt like a bag of ****. So decided to go back to bed, after I
slept in late...I did got a little scrapping done...two pages!!
I went on and off to the couch and back here. And you wouldn´t
believe, my pc did work with me...finally!! Made both lo´s with
the new kit from Agnes Lahur ( I love being on her guest CT!!)
´Enchanted sakura´...It´s a lovely kit...check it out!



Here are my LO´s....This is my colleague´s little girl Rosanne,
just goofin´a round at daycare. She´s such a beauty and love
always love scrapping her photos...

My SIL Najima, always wears the latest fashion in clothes and
accesories...such an glamour girl!

Oh, wanted to show you my new hair do...but will leave that for
my next post...:-) Together with my diet! LOL

As you already saw, I also did some online shopping...My paypal is
finally back to work...LOL!! So here´s what I´ve bought...It´s just
one thing, but had to have it, especially when I saw they were on sale!


I also won a kit from Natalie Bird, for posting in her thread...
I loved it right away ad had to give it a try...Lucky for me, her
little boy picked my and some other names from the hat...How cool is
that!!??!! Pretty huh??


Well ladies that´s it for now...I thought it would be a quick one,
but a little bigger as I expected!!
Oh have one more thing..Kinda sad, but decided to quit on Alma´s CT.
I´ve been and will be too busy with the upcoming softball competition
and practices. And the requirements are are little to heavy for me
right now, to keep it on track...I liked working for her and the
ladies over there were and are so nice!! Thanks for everything!!

Ok, that´s it...see you back here, somewhere this week!! Ciao

Fun day ahead of us...

Just a little weekend chat! It´s been very relaxing so far...
Yesterday I went to the hair-dresser and I´m so happy with it!
He cut like 10cm on the bottom and gave me a big bang! I´ll
show you some pictures later this week...The only thing I´m
always worried about, if I can do my hair just like he did...
LOL. We´ll see in an hour or so. But it looked quiet simple!

We went to the mall to find Abdel some glasses, since he´s really
need it! He gets a headaches and says it´s getting worse faster
than he thought. So we picked out a nice one and has to get back
there on monday to make if fit. We also bought me new perfume...
It´s so sweet, the new Donna karan: ´red delicious´ and it is!
We aslo bought Abdel a new sweater and I got this little dress/
shirt to go over a pants...We got ourselves a cheeseburger and
went back home. I made us some greek Gyros (chicken) and had a
nice and relaxing evening! I finally finished an LO I started on
friday. Our pc is really making me sick lately...It´s just too
slow and I hate it! Hope we get our new one, pretty soon!!! here´s
the LO...


Check here for credits...

O yeah, I had some CT news...Agnes Lahur asked me to be on her
guest team for March/April and off course I couldn´t resist! She
has some gorgeous designs!!

Today we´re gonna have a fun day...Right now I have some fresh made
crossaints in the oven and will make us some yummy yummy Maroccan
tea. It´s with mint and a lot of sugar..that´s bad I know, but without
telling Abdel I´m replacing the sugar with sweetner...:-) Don´t tell
ok!! I´m wondering if he could tast the diffrence. I´m kind of on a
diet, well starting tomorrow, but already trying some things out. Will
tell you all about that this week!

After breakfast we´re going to this big outlet center in lelystad.
It´s such an great place and we go there at least once a year! I´m so
in the mood for shopping...yoohoo!! Beacuase it´s been quite a while
since we did some shopping!!It´s over an hour drive, but so worth it!
LOL. On the way home we´re going to our favorite chicken restaurant!!
I can already smell what we´re haveing for dinner...LOL. It´s such an
lovely place and the people, especially the host are too kind! He always
gives us a special treat!! :-)

That´s it for now ladies...have a great sunday, I know I am! :-)

Tuesday NEWS!

Hi y´all...I had a great day off work today! Did some scrapping,
cleaned the kitchen, did some laundry, saw the psychologist,
got some CT news and making us a lovely dinner as I´m writing!

Oh and forgot all about scrapping...Made one page today and gonna
make another as soon as I got an email from ??...Not telling yet!!
I was asked to join a guest CT, for a month...I´ll tell you...she
has her own shop and also sells at the digi shoppe! You´ll just
have to wait for the answer!! :-))))

Yesterday I saw this thread at DST from Jennifer M. Trippetti
(jennt1111), asking several people with to ´try out´ some of her
new photo templates. And since there wasn´t anyone wanted to help
out using PSP. So I´d give it a try and guess what? Right before
dinner I got an PM from her, with the download links and what to do!
Whe i started trying them out, I totally loved them right away...
They are so awsome...Check it out


With all the ´paying it forward´ threads at DST, I had to do something
in return and started a thread, showing her new stuff and the LO a
made with them... Kind of a little promo for her! :-) Here´s my LO...


I took these photos last weekend..and loved how they came out, with
these photo templates I think they look extra special! :-) All credits
can be found here

Today was the last time I visited the psychologist. After the first time,
I really thought I didn´t need it. The panic feelings slowly went away
after I made the first appointment, although these visits made me a lot
more confident. And to be honest, such things go with life, right? The
reason why I went there, is that I had huge panic attacks and thought I
could die any moment. I had these feelings after one of my brothers best
friends died, without any reason...Only 20 years old! You can read some
of the story over here, but really don´t feel like getting back to it!
I feel like I´ve turned a page!! (Like Karen says)

Ok, back to the ´paying it forward´. Sunday I got this PM from Betsy Tuma,
with this nice little RAK! A fun stitched alpha...so sweet!! Thanks Betsy!
So now I need to pay it forward, but wasn´t sure what to give, since I´m
not a designer and not sure if people would want to have a custom LO made
by me...LOL. So I asked Sara (Amarie), she´s such an sweetheart and wanted
to help me out! She was willing to give me three GC for $3 to spend at her
O-scraps store..isn´t that just the sweetest thing of her to do!! I KNOW!!
So I´ll start a new thread after dinner, with the following ?. I want three
ladies to link me up with three LO, wich include some of Sara´s designs
and want them to comment on those and then link it back! I thought I will
randomly pick three ladies out there...What do you think?? Wanna win a GC
for Sara Amarie´s store...?? Check the ´paying it forward´ threads and join
me!

Off to hop on the blog train ladies...Dinner is almost finished and can´t
wait to her from...?? Still not telling you..:-)

Weekend already over???

Yes, sadly it is!! Had a great weekend and did some fun things...
First of all some news...We finally sold our car today. It´s been
on sale for like 4 months and juts didn´t got the right price for
it. Just 2 hours ago a guy an his GF, came to check it out! And
bought it...well they gave us a down payment and he will be back
on wednesday to transfer the paper!! Yoohoo! We´re so happy right
now!! This was great, but to expensive, since Abdel drives a lot.
We really wanted to buy a diesel, wich is much cheaper for us.
He already found another car wich he´s going to check out tomorrow
with his little brother. We don´t need it right away, but would be
cool, right?? Well with this sale we saved a lot of money and we
finally can go and do some major cloth shopping....so YOOOOHHOOO!

I´ll tell you how my weekend has been, but first something funny:-)

Your Mouth is a Little Big

You're not a total tell all, but you don't hide who you are either. You've struck a good balance between discretion and sharing. People know you fairly well, at least on a superficial level. But you save your most revealing secrets for your best friend... or no one!

Do You Have a Big Mouth?

Yesterday I went to one of my best friends. We didn´t had contact
for a two years and last year we met up and really wanted to meet
up more often. I also visited her two weeks ago and watched all our
old photos from backt then..:-) She´s such a sweetie and had a blast
yesterday. Made dinner and were suppose to watch a movie but the dvd
player broke down. But hety, instead we talked and talked and talked.
It was a great evening!!

This morning we had our first outside softball practice and was great,
I came home wih lots and lots of energy!! My sweetie had vacumed the
whole apprtment and cleaned the kitchen...I was so happy and gave him
a big kiss for it!! :-) After I took a shower we went to the racing
circuit. My little brother Melvin had to race! My parents went and his
GF...we also met up with a lot of people from years ago! It was great
and so nice to see these people a again. My dad used to race there, but
he´s now on a higher level. So we rarely came there. Until Melvin
decided he wanted to race too!! He great at it and took some fun photos!

I really wanted to scrap a lot, but haven´t been home much this
weekend. I thought I´ll scrap after I wrote my blog, but thinking about
it makes me tired..LOL. I think I´m, just going to bed early. Since I
didn´t really slept in this weekend, but that´s ok. I get another chance
on tuesday! :-) I did make one LO yesterday, here it is...

Just let me tell you first...I took me a long time, but really like
how this turned out, and these frame are just awsome...Nancy Rules!
Check here for credits...



Tomorrow I can finally watch CSI (las vegas) with the famous Gill
Grissom. I love this guy and this show is just amazing. We´re saving
up to get all the dvd´s. We already got the first season on dvd....
so we´re on our way!! Since the softball season started we´re not
gonna train in the sports hall anymore, but just outside...On sunday
that is...yeah I know ( ther goes sleeping in late) but I felt great!
We´re gonna have some pratice games before season started and there
are also some little tournaments... Can´t wait!! :-)

Well lovely peeps...have a great sunday, for what´s left of it...B/c
it´s 20:30 over here. I´m gonna hop on the blog train real quick and
also start a thread over at elemental scraps!! I started one out
there friday and also got some lovely comments from the ladies over there...Thanks!

Gonna update our website for daycare real quick, fold the laundry
and watch some tv before I go to bed!!

((hugs))

it´s been a week!!

OMG, I´m such an terrible blogger these past couple of weeks
and I hate it!! From now on I´m gonna try to write at least two
times a week. Because it´s gonna be a long post, again!!

Ok, today I had my day off from work. Usually it´s always on
tuesday, but since we had the yearly study-day I had to go. So
one of my colleague suggested that she was gonna work for me on
wednesday. Turned out she was sick and they called me if I could
come to work...Honestly?? No, I´d set my mind to sleeping in, but
forget it. I went cause there was no one else to work for me!!
But I told our head that she had to find someone to work for me
today and she did!! I finally got to sleep in late...well late,
till 10:00, but that´s ok...

Last week I got this PM from Joedee from elemental scraps, asking
me if I would consider to join the CT team over there. And I said
yes!! I really nedd to think about, since I´m on two CT´s and
working for ACDSee...I thought it would be too much! But on the other
hand, It´s kind of quiet on Sara´s site and only need to make three
LO´s a month and can pick the kits of choice. Awsome huh? So I think
this is gonna work for me...Especially since I already made two pages
today...yeah, I´m on a roll!! I even have time to do some of my own
scrapping this weekend. Since I´ve also finished my two pages for Alma.

This week I had some extra cash to spend...Yoohoo!! Since we decided
not have our CC back, I had just deposit some money to my paypal and
got the notice that it was there....was ooo sooo happy!! I finally
got to do some shopping!! there were so many things I really wanted to
have...And got those...:-) Here it is, Oh sorry...ENABLER ALERT!!!

From scrapartist, since I still had that coupon for 25% off...


You can find them here

You can find these here

And from the lilypad...Off course I had to check out Natalie´s awsome
stuff!! Don´t you just love it!! I know I do!


You can find them over here


And had to have these too ;-) Check here

And last but not least, Karen pointed me to these...´welcoming spring´
by Gina Marie. And for that price I just couldn´t resist!! :-) $2,50
for the whole set...What do you think? She also got some lovely
freebies to go with it! Check it out her blog over here




On to some scrapping I did today...here´s one with Amanda Roberts
new kit: ´authentic all star´. I checked for new products and fel in
love with it, right away!! I don´t have kids, but I knew I had these
cute photos of Milan, I took at daycare. It´s karen´s little boy and
I wish i could show her. But she´s off for a weekend with her family.
Well, guess that has to wait..:-) here´s the my Lo and the kit....





Ok ladies, that´s it for now...I´m expecting my sweetie home any second.
He thought I made him a nice dinner, but sadly i didn´t. We´re just gonna
have us some fries and chicken snacks...sorry. Will make it up tomorrow
by making him my famous chicken!! ;-)

feel neglected huh???

I know, I know and I feel a little ashamed!! Sorry ladies! So here
goes...don´t have an excuse really, been a little busy with other
stuff...didn´t even had time to scrap!!!! And I really want to,
well ok...here´s what´s going on in my world now-a-days....

Ok I have made one scrap, with Alma´s new kit called: ´springtime`
and i love the colours and awsome elements! It´s not in the SBE
shop yet, but you can get it in the shop at the scraphabit, as an
early bird :-) here´s my page...This is Abdel´s colleague little
girl Rachelle...they´d send me some photos to scrap...so sweet!




Then I have some news...Last month I started working for
ACDSee. While talking to Connie, she asked what I would think
of working for them. Promoting the photo manager and photo
editor on dutch scrapping forums and translate their tutorials
to dutch, I f people wanted to. The photo manager is such an
awsome program I couldn´t resist. It has cut my scrapping time
in half and that´s juts awsome! Now I only need a new, faster
pc, wich is on the way...Can´t wait!! About the promoting it´s
sort of a slow start though, but Connie told me not to feel bad.
It takes time she said. And OK, I have the time. Last week she
also gave me some great times and exsamples on how to get peoples
interests...so I hope it will get better soon. Last week I´ve
wrote a review of the PM and send in some LO´s, wich were made
using the PM...ACDSee are gonna put them on one of their sites,
I think.

Softball/pitcher practice is going great!! One of our players
told us last week, she´s gonna quit, she´s our only catcher. So
we were not happy at all!! We have one in training and that is
going ok...Last night I had pitcher practice and we were only
with the two of us, so I decided to put on the catcher gear. It
went fine, but those leggets (the leg protectors) are too big.
Since I´m kind of a short person..LOL. So in about 10 min. my
feet felt sore and went back pitching..:-) Next weekend we have
our 1st practice game...so looking forward to it, but hope we
have enough players! We´ll see...

Last night was kind of a sad day at daycare...One of our little
friends said good-bye. She turned four and is going to primary
school, so sad!! She was our big help...helping with the baby´s;
giving a bottle, giving them their dummy, when they lost it.
Folding the laundry and helping in the kitchen...we´re so gonna
miss her!! her mom was also a little sad, but her little brother
is still with us, so we´ll see her once in a while...lucky us!!
We got this lovely photo, we took a couple of weeks ago. They
gave us this huge copy and wrote some sweet words and all the
things they were thankful for on the back...so sweet!! here´s
the photo...sweet, huh??



HHmm, I knew I had more to write about...oh yeah, did you hear about
the five day scrap-a-faire going on right now...I´m helping out in the ACDSee forum. Answering questions about the ACDSee software in the chatroom. You even have a chance to win one of the software programs...
So if you have any come check it out! There are also lot of fun things
going on about scrapping; great classes, idea gallery and lots more!
5 days to click, crop & shop and chatting of course!! A fun way to meet
new online friends!

O, I did some more scrapping, I just thought of..:-) Last tuesday I
started on the new birthday calendar for work. We´ve had one last year,
but it needed some changes. The pictures weren´t all the good (took with
my old camera) and a lot of kids left us. I made this old one when I
just started digital scrapping, so I really wanted to make a new one.
I´ve finished it till June and hope to finish it by next week or so!!
I really want to print and show off..:-)

So, I think I´m done for today...And maybe have some time to scrap, I´m
just gonna do it!! Connie & Heidi are covering the chatroom right now,
so that´s ok...have a great day and WILL be back this weekend!!!
